After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards squeaked past the Magic 102-99. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
